Fact-checking immigration spin on separating families and 1,500 ‘lost’ children

So, on one hand, the Flores settlement and the TVPRA require that children be released. On the other, Sessions’s zero-tolerance policy
subjects any accompanying parents to criminal prosecution and eventual deportation.

It all sounds like kidnapping and intimidation tactics being used like a net with no accountability for personal situations and circumstances.

Completely unamerican and as a whole drags us down.

Sad that we are so divided and dumbed down that we would believe causing more pain and harm is a decent solution to a problem.

I am thinking that even the justice department is not above having criminal charges against them.

a bunch of loser dummies picking on kids i hope you get your rocks off and then go crawl in a hole for the last time....losers

Children are separated from families everyday and no one says a peep. Go to any court and see a father or mother being imprisoned for various crimes
like drug dealing, murder, etc. Should they not go to jail just because a family is being broken up?

Now they want to put these children in tent cities on military bases! Shameful!

And, Jeff Sessions, who voted against the Violence Against Women Act, now has narrowed the asylum definitions to disallow domestic abuse as a
qualification and gang violence is also now not a qualifier either.

Under these new rules, my father and his family would not have been allowed to seek their refugee status, which was based on persecution from the drug
cartels in Columbia. This is just unamerican and unchristian!

Women are humans if I am not mistaken, and therefore all other laws that protect humans and criminalize violence against an individual already protect
women again violence. Do women now need specific laws to amplify and modify sentencing just because?? Is there a violence against men act??

The 1500 kids were placed with relatives, and after. 30 day follow up those particular families did not return any calls. I also like how the author
tried to lay one of the laws on bush in 2008, but does not mention that Democrats
had control of Congress, the people who actually wrote the law.

I would like to know, since the author is trying to imply vaguely that somehow these are a result of Trump and Session's immigration policies, I would
like to know how many children who were placed with families in the past ten or even twenty years did not return calls and were lost track of.
There is a link for them to check those facts, so I will see if they are up for the task.

Double or nothing more kids disappeared under the last administration of anarchy and lawlessness.
I decided to search for myself. According to another source , the HHS did better to account for kids in placement than in 2016. I think we need though
a compiled list from at least the last twenty years, or for however long they have been keeping track. CBS news/AP

First of all, it's "domestic violence", of which the majority of victims are women and LGBT folks. Domestic violence could include rape, child
marriage, and forced marriages in general, culturally enforced beatings and mutilations.

Now, if you agree with Session, and support his "no" vote in the Violence Against Women Act, that's your opinion ans you're welcome to it. You do
probably support the Unborn Victims of Violence Act though, I'm guessing.

Secondly, let's not conflate the 1500 children who went missing on the books during the Obama adminstration with the 1000s of children being held in
detention centers because they came with their parents, many of whom were merely seeking asylum, which can only be done while standing on American
soil.

Sure sounds like you were acting blame with your opening attacks. I say attacks, because that is exactly what it was. I have brought counter facts to
your facts. Maybe we should start there??

We do not need to end up like Europe and the civil unrest and terrorism they suffer due to the open borders of the last decade. This is just the cost
of maintaining border security. Nobody can save every human on Earth from dire circumstances. It is logistically impossible, yet some people continue
to entertain this fantasy that we can.

Well. I'm not going to go full blown Spanish Inquisition on you for that sad excuse of a whataboutism, we're in different times by now. The crown of
Aragon and Castille has no bearing on your policies whatsoever, or does it?
